Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Melt Cavern

Translator: 549690339

The master of the Cold Snow Training Ground, Mr. Liu Shuang, is a sociable middle-aged Spirit Executor.

Upon learning their intentions, Liu Shuang’s gaze swept over the four teens before him.

“Let me be clear, the Spirit Holder Exam is challenging.”

“Since none of you have obtained the Spirit Executor’s Badge from Bai Lu Mountain City, this assessment will be reduced to match the standards of the Youth Competition.”

“But, there will still be difficulties.”

“So, during the assessment process, there’s a possibility of getting injured.”

“Despite this, are you still willing to take part in my examination?”

“We are!”

Their unanimous determination made Liu Shuang nod in affirmation.

“In that case,” Mr. Liu Shuang’s voice softened, “first, summon your Food Spirits so that 1 can gauge your abilities.”

Qin Lang glanced at his three companions.

Dan Bao and Spicy rarely returned to the Star Vein, always accompanying him, so naturally, they didn’t need to be re-conjured.

On the other hand, Du Weiwei and Little Glutinous Rice got along exceptionally well, and only needed to nurture the New Food Spirit in the Star Vein.

Whereas Zhao Chen had summoned Yangyang in advance, Qi Xiaoyu had Xiu Xiu retreat into the Star Vein instead.

Or rather, Xiu Xiu seemed to prefer being inside the Star Vein.

Soon, six Food Spirits appeared in the center of the field.

“Let me see…” Liu Shuang carefully examined each of the six Food Spirits in front of him, quickly reaching a decision, “Tang Huo! Zhou Qi!”

“Coming! Master!”

Among the dozens of people using the training equipment inside the Training Ground, two people stopped their exercises and hurriedly started to move towards them.

Soon, Tang Huo and Zhou Qi reached Liu Shuang’s side, curiously examining the four people in front of them.

They had already heard that these four people were here to participate in the Spirit Holder Exam and were trying to obtain their local Spirit Holder’s Badge for the first time.

As disciples within the Cold Snow Training Ground, the two were familiar with the next phase of the assessment.

After calling the two, Liu Shuang pointed at Zhao Chen and Qi Xiaoyu, “You two, follow Tang Huo to the Cold Ice Melt Cavern. The details of the assessment will be explained by him.”

“You two must do well, the Cold Ice Melt Cavern is no joke!” Tang Huo laughed menacingly, then gestured them, “Follow me!”

Zhao Chen and Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help but look at Qin Lang and Du Weiwei.

“Looks like it’s a special test for me.” Zhao Chen’s face showed a bit more confidence, “I’ll go ahead first, you guys just wait for my successful return!”

“Xiaoyu, don’t worry, give it your best shot!” Du Weiwei ignored Zhao Chen, grabbed Qi Xiaoyu’s nervous hand, and reassured her.

The latter nodded heavily, “Then 1’11 go!”

They followed a young man named Tang Huo and left the scene.

“As for the two of you…” Liu Shuang turned his gaze onto Qin Lang and Du Weiwei, patting the shoulder of the youth called Zhou Qi, “This is my disciple, Zhou Qi, who possesses two two-star Food Spirits.”

“Nice to meet you.” Zhou Qi chuckled, and in a flash, two two-star Food Spirits gathered beside him.

“Each of you chooses one of Zhou Qi’s two-star Food Spirits to fight against. If you win, you will obtain the Spirit Executor’s Badge.”

“Oh, Zhou Qi will only use one of his two-star Food Spirits, but you can use all of your Food Spirits to battle.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang and Du Weiwei immediately turned their eyes to Zhou Qi’s two Food Spirits.

At first glance, it was not easy to assess the strength and weakness of the two Spirits.

“Should 1 go first?” Du Weiwei seemed eager to give it a shot.

“Sure.” Qin Lang nodded.

Since Du Weiwei was willing to go first, why not let her test Zhou Qi, the Spirit Chef’s overall strength?

“Then, 1 choose this one.” Du Weiwei didn’t hesitate and pointed at one of Zhou Qi’s Food Spirits.

It was obvious that she had chosen arbitrarily.

“Then, let’s proceed to the battle stage,” Zhou Qi gestured towards the standard Battle Arena.

“I will be the referee for your match.” Before them, Liu Shuang stepped onto the Battle Arena, “Come on!”

Both of them stood at their respective spots on the Battle Arena, while Qin Lang stood outside the stage, carefully observing the match.

After a countdown of five, a shrill whistle tore through the sky.

The battle, begins!

“Err… Brother Tang Huo, what exactly is the content of our exam?”

As they watched the boy named Tang Huo, leading them away from the Cold Snow Training Ground towards the top of the mountain, Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help but ask.

“We will get there in no time.” Instead of answering, Tang Huo just chuckled.

Thus, Zhao Chen and Qi Xiaoyu had no choice but to continue following him.

A moment later, they finally reached a location halfway up the mountain.

It was a cave entrance, just high enough for a single person to enter. Looking inside from the exterior, they could only see darkness and nothing else inside.

The entrance to the cave was like a demonic mouth. Occasionally, chilling winds would sweep through it, producing high-pitched, wailing sounds.

This sight made Qi Xiaoyu’s hair stand on end.

Even Zhao Chen, who was usually fearless, couldn’t help but frown.

“Take this,” Tang Huo handed them both flashlights that he had prepared in advance, “Go in from here, cross the Melt Cavern and come out the other side, then the exam will be deemed clear.”

“I’ll be waiting for you at the exit.”

“Oh, also, take this,” he handed them each an object that looked like an alarm, “If you can’t hold on anymore, just press this, and I will come to find you.”

“Of course, that also means the exam is a failure.”

“Any questions?”

We’re supposed to go in from here?

Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help but switch on the flashlight, shining it into the cave.

With the bright beam of light from the flashlight, they could see a little more of the cave’s interior.

But that was about all they could see.

This Melt Cavern seemed deeper than she had anticipated.

“No problem!”

A confident voice came from Zhao Chen who was standing beside her.

Qi Xiaoyu pursed her lips as thoughts of hesitation and retreat slid away, “I have no problem either!”

She certainly didn’t want to lose to Zhao Chen, who was always caught up in his fantasies.

“Then good luck to you!”

Tang Huo laughed, gesturing for them to start their trial.

“Let’s go!” Zhao Chen took a deep breath and was the first to step into the dark cave entrance.

“Wait for me!” Seeing Zhao Chen about to disappear into the darkness, Qi Xiaoyu’s heart pounded as she hurried to catch up.

As soon as they disappeared into the dark cave entrance, Tang Huo stretched lazily, a pensive look on his face.

It’s strange.

The examination Master usually gives to Spirit Chefs with only one-star Food Spirits isn’t the Cold Ice Melt Cavern, so why has it changed this time?

Could it be because there are two of them this time?

Tang Huo seemed to realize something, a look of interest appearing on his face.

I wonder if they can make it out of the Melt Cavern together?

Well, now it’s time for him to move.

Tang Huo walks briskly through the snow, heading towards the exit of the Melt Cavern.
